Fantasy | Young Adult | Romance | Regency England Inspired | Historical Fiction | Cozy Fantasy
In this romantic fantasy of manners from New York Times bestselling author Allison Saft, a magical dressmaker commissioned for a royal wedding finds herself embroiled in scandal when a gossip columnist draws attention to her undeniable chemistry with the groom.
Niamh Ó Conchobhair has never let herself long for more. The magic in her blood that lets her stitch emotions and memories into fabric is the same magic that will eventually kill her. Determined to spend the little time she has left guaranteeing a better life for her family, Niamh jumps at the chance to design the wardrobe for a royal wedding in the neighboring kingdom of Avaland.
But Avaland is far from the fairytale that she imagined. While young nobles attend candlelit balls and elegant garden parties, unrest brews amid the working class. The groom himself, Kit Carmine, is prickly, abrasive, and begrudgingly being dragged to the altar as a political pawn. But when Niamh and Kit grow closer, an unlikely friendship blossoms into something more—until an anonymous columnist starts buzzing about their chemistry, promising to leave them alone only if Niamh helps to uncover the royal family’s secrets. The rot at the heart of Avaland runs deep, but exposing it could risk a future she never let herself dream of, and a love she never thought possible.
Transporting readers to a Regency England-inspired fantasy world, A Fragile Enchantment is a sweeping romance threaded with intrigue, unforgettable characters, and a love story for the ages.

6. Dreamer's Folly (The Wayward Light Saga #1) by A. Samuel Bales
Fantasy | Adult | Epic Fantasy
The daggers of gutter rats do not easily find themselves in the backs of princes, yet this vengeful hope is all that sustains young Jeld after the prince’s tyranny leaves him alone and broken on the harsh streets of Tovar. The god-like Idols had abandoned Avandria, never so much as protecting him in dreams where some said they lingered. In a horrible irony, it seemed he survived thanks only to his father's violent temper for so honing his empathy that he might discern danger in a man's eyes, or in the strange depths he alone seemed able to glimpse beyond.
Jeld's fight to survive brings together a diverse band of companions and begins his journey from the cold streets to the spired royal palace. Along the way, he will unlock the magic of a lost world, untangle the secrets of the missing Idols, and find love in the most unlikely of places as his blade inches ever closer to the prince.
But alas, not even hatred can be so simple. Old enemies and new allies are not all they seem. Finding himself at the center of a plot to tear apart the realm, Jeld must choose between revenge and fighting for the very kingdom he owes no favors.
This is a fast-paced coming of age adventure for lovers of fantasy and general fiction alike. Fans of Patrick Rothfuss’s Name of the Wind, Robin Hobb’s Assassin’s Apprentice, and David Eddings's classic Pawn of Prophecy will quickly fall into Jeld’s tale. Dreamer’s Folly explores love, loss, and vengeance in a fantasy adventure with characters so real it sometimes doesn’t feel so far from home. Adult and YA readers alike will enjoy the ride.
There is no greater killer of men than the pursuit of dreams, and no more agonizing death than that of a man who ignores them.

And so she chooses him.
She is drawn to the mystery of him, her unquenchable need for his kiss. And as powerful enemies align and conspire against them, Harrow knows their only hope is escape.
Now, with every secret she unlocks from his past, a shadow from her own whispers free—luring enemies who will stop at nothing to get their final revenge on Harrow. And she’s given them the perfect weapon…because her winged beast is not what he seems.
But maybe it’s time they finally learn—neither is she.

15. Evergreen by Devin Greenlee
Fantasy | Young Adult | Dryads | Urban Fantasy | Romance | LGBT
A deliciously dreamy urban fairytale about a dryad who risks immortality for love, from debut author Devin Greenlee
All seventeen-year-old Quill wants is a break from the family business. Flowers, plants, the generations-old garden. What he wouldn’t give for a taste of the outside world. Normalcy. But his mom won’t let him out of the house, telling him he’s just not ready…
All because he’s a dryad. Well, not just any dryad, but a male dryad—the first ever. And unlike everyone else in his family, he hasn’t a lick of magic. Just a shock of green hair, matching green eyes, and a growing frustration that there’s an entire world out there waiting to be discovered. Until the night when the outside world—specifically his new neighbor—discovers him.
Liam Watson lives in a culture filled with electronics, mobile devices, and social media—where there is no magic or even the belief in it. And as much as Quill finds Liam irritating (he’s so cute it’s annoying), he can’t help himself.
Now Quill’s getting a taste of the outside world and of Liam…and he wants more. But all is not well in this magical, urban garden, and someone—or something—is changing the very essence of it.
And wherever Quill goes, the danger grows…
